It is always a good idea to have your ID with you.

We are not responsible for any underage drinking.

Since Parking is very limited due to the high number of people enjoying paradise, we strongly encourage you to find an authorized ride-share vehicle to take you to the East Dock in front of the Edge restaurant for drop off and pickup. There is also public parking across the street for approximately $15.00 per day, or you can enjoy a meal at the Edge restaurant prior to departure and park in their private lot.

Please arrive 20 minutes before your scheduled departure. We encourage our passengers to use the bathroom prior to departure. There are public restrooms at the dock and in nearby restaurants. Also, our boat is located in Slip 2, behind The Edge restaurant, and just past Beignets and Brew. Look for the picnic table with the green umbrella.

The maximum number of people allowed on our boat is six (6) passengers. We have a (2) two passenger minimum to operate the boat, and may need to reschedule if less than minimum is not met. Charters with more than (6) six passengers will need multiple boats. CONTACT US IN ADVANCE FOR AVAILABILITY AND RATES.
